Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️Is there something like mongodb/couchdb that does the sqlite philiosophy of an in-process database that's just saved out to a file?
I need to convert a python program to store some data in a database and I'd rather not deal with SQL.
I mean I could always build a small wrapper around an SQLite database I stuff JSON into
but I'd rather not have to
I just stared at my database schema and went "I don't really want to write another INSERT (...) INTO TABLE_BLAH VALUES(?,?,?); statement. I've done my time
Hugo Mills@foone This is the thinking that leads to the eldritch horrors of ORM frameworks.
LisPi@darkling @foone I don't think so, in better languages it leads to things like these. The sheer instability of Python is probably why no one has bothered.
Persistent objects predate SQL as a concept.
"why would I do this, I can just write SQL?"
As for why? It can outperform SQL<->object conversion (including when you do it manually with optimizations an ORM couldn't safely do) by magnitudes when done well.
